PSG's Kylian Mbappe's outbids Neymar for €550,000 King Kong statue

Paris Saint-Germain's Kylian Mbappe paid over half-a-million euros for a statue of King Kong at a charity auction after outbidding teammate Neymar, whose shirt from his first match for the club was sold off for almost €250,000.

A total of €1.645m was raised for the PSG Foundation at Tuesday night's gala dinner at the Parc des Princes, over €1m more than last year, according to L'Equipe.

That sum was boosted significantly by the bidding war between Neymar and Mbappe for a Richard Orlinski statue of King Kong. Eventually, the 20-year-old France striker won out with a bid of €550,000.
